16Mar12 Hammer experiencing heroes pt.31612: KoRn in Offenbach/GER

Derek Hammer — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 09:36:12 +0000

Unbelievable… you nearly could touch the band as the venue in Offenbach was not sold out… what a bad promotion campaign here in GER, unbelievable! Only insider got to know that your heroes are in town…. BUT for the fans it was an extraordinary event experiencing your buddies in a nearly intimate atmosphere… it must have been similar in the very early days! And one had the feeling KoRn enjoyed the direct contact to the audience and manoeuvred themself into an outstanding performance with an ultra long encore…. forgotten was all the anger about the crappy support acts!
Hammer says, don’t ever miss again KoRn!

26Feb12 Family Shaft Open Doors For Hammer Celebration Grilling

Derek Hammer — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 09:32:51 +0000

On Sunday 26Feb12 Tatjana and Harry Shaft opened their mansion’s doors for a monster grilling of tons of food to celebrate the ususal Hammer anniversary…. Everybody knows that Shaft’s grilling is always getting out of hands in Surf & Turf and good golden liquor….
Luckily we were starving so much, that this time only half of food remained untouched and all of us could take doggy-bags home, which could feed our families for the rest of the week!

13Feb12 Shaft, Smear and Hammer experiencing heroes: Henry Rollins www.21361.com

Derek Hammer — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 08:25:42 +0000

Happy Birthday Henry!
Outstanding performance in Mannheim! Everybody who missed you, still lives in the pink world of illusion, blindly slingering into the chaos of doom, waking up, maybe luckily enough, to realize one is already dead!
Clear words, clear statements, always constructive critical, straight foreward with best sense of humour…. nearly forgotten, that your music brought us to you! Surely we desire to see you back with your band one day, but more important is you will come back very soon spending another highly amusing 3 hours with us and our friends…. with your friends! Thank you, Henry

wp_admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:30:36 +0000

It never occured, that Hammer attended 4 concerts in row with the main act being a singing woman!
But it was an exicting experience as Ladies like Anna Vissi (05Nov11), again Sade (16Nov11), Ami
Lee from and with Evanescence (17Nov11) and Sharon from and with Within Temptation (25Nov11)
performed brilliantly with exceptional bands and incredible good sounds.
Always worth to meet not only girly, but real women events….

Museumsufer-Fest 26aug11

wp_admin — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:46:39 +0000

Today was the first opportunity to introduce to you our new soon to be released album
LIVE! We had big fun at the MuseumsUferFest 2011 Frankfurt at the ‘Frankfurter Rundschau’
stage premiering our album ‘we DON’T care’ LIVE. We even played a new cover in the what
we think is the correct speed and power with ‘Axel’ Cumalot singing. G’n'R will wonder having
never played ‘Don’t Cry’ that way….
Anyway, the new songs as well some of the oldies thundered into Frankfurt’s early evening
sky of a dark massive wall of clouds waiting for us until we stop playing to enload in a big storm
and fat rainfall afterwards…. Even upper powers respect us!
Album release early October!!!

And me? I had the honour to be welcomed by Howie, who introduced me into his world of studio
work the Mastering, his grill place behind his studio hacienda, as well the best Mexican Bar in
Beverly Hills. And I was lucky having him introduced into some typical German dark herb liquor,
no, not the one with the dear on the cover, no, Keiler’s is the real thing!!!
Howie is a real friend and we are so happy we could win him to do the mastering of our new album!
…and as Howie promissed: ‘You will love it!’ …yes, WE LOVE IT and yes, YOU WILL LOVE IT!
